Frequently asked questions
How much does staircase repair cost in Singapore?
Staircase repairs start from $350. That covers broken or loose pieces, dog-chewed nosings, deep scratches and stained pieces on a typical job. Larger damage, such as several treads or a full tread replacement, is quoted after we see it.

One continuous run of steps from one floor to the next, up to about 16 steps. A staircase with a half-landing between floors still counts as one flight; the landing is quoted with it.
What makes a staircase repair cost more?

Yes. Doing repairs and polishing in one visit saves a second trip and makes the repaired steps blend in with the rest.
